instead of continuing to treat symptoms
At the present rate Of growth the institu-
tons to be supported by the State will
presently outweigh the possibilities of the
public treasury. We are absolutely doing
nothing to reform prisoners or save ne
elected Youth from drifting into vi.ious
ways, while We are directly fostering
system that encourages nnafectionate
parents and next of kin to shift natural
responsibilities upon the State. As re-
suit, our orphan asylums are being filled
up by youths who ought to be cared fo- by
those nature makes accountable for them.
Our jaiIs are crowded by shiftless men and
boys, living upon the taxpayers of the
counties, when they should be at work and
contributing to the productive capacity of
the country. Our conyicts are turned out
from State Prisons under q system that in
evitably forces them back into criminal
ways Our reform institutions such
as they are-treat youth confined therein
as criminal by nature, and brand them for
all after life with the stigma attaching to
the uniform of semi-penal institution.
The more " institutions" we provide, the
greater the demand appears to be upon
their capacity; so out of all proper
ton is the number of our dependents to
the aggregate population, that We occupy
the unenviable position of being first
among all the States in the number of in
stitutional inmates, though among the
Youngest of the States in the Union.
There must be an end to this abnormal
growth of vice and dependence. 1t can
not COON and society maintain any symmet-
rieal proportions. We must begin the
work of preventing ills some time, and
the sooner we enter upon the work the less
difficult the task. The present Legislature
has failed to do anything looking to a new
departure, but has been forced to vote sup
port to institutions in a largely and
startlingly increased sum. Under our
present system of turning the key upon
offenders and trusting to the reformatory
influence of prison walls and prison bars
and institutional correctives, we are simply
augmenting the census of the dependent
and criminal classes, and multiplying the
burdens of society. We must within the
next few years begin the work of preven-
ton and abandon our methods of cure, or
California will be hopelessly enslaved by
her institutions"

The Governors veto of the stamp and
label bill has been maintained In the
debate preceding the vote it was urged, as
often before, that while the bill, if law,
would work hardships if enforced uni
formly and equally, yet they would be all
avoided, because the sentiment of the peo-
pie would prevent its enforcement against
all but Chinese. 1t was stated a little
more guardedly, sometimes, but stripped Of
disguises that was the meaning. Abso-
lutely, such chatter is silly. The utterers
of this absurd doctrine are unfit to fill the
seats of lawmakers. Here we have it
openly announced by men sworn to do
even-handed justice that the purpose of a
proposed law is to have it enforced as
against one class, but to become dead
letter as to all others. What would such
gentlemen say to a Court if one of the in
tended exempts should be brought to bar
for infraction of the law? Would they
have the effrontery to plead that the law
was a joke as to them, but solemn fact as to
others2 Would these lawmakers qIeaven
save the mark justify the Courts of the
land in like procedure under other laws,
loosing and tying at will? What kind Of
system of Jurisprudence and administra-
ton of criminal laws forsooth, would these
new-hedged Solomons substitute for that
under which the laws are made for all the
people, and that exac:s adherence to

With every advance of emigration into
the far West, new demand is created for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly peo-
pied regions are frequently less salubrious
than older settled localities. on account OF
the miasma which rises from recently
cleared land, particularly along the banks
of rivers that. are subject to freshets. The
agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns,
when he does not already know, that the
Bitters afford the only sure protection
against malaria, and those disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels. to which eli
mate changes, exposure and unaccustomed
or unhealthy water or diet subject him.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Sections 1852. 3453 and 1851 of the Politi-
cal Code relating to the powers, duties and
compensation of Trustees of reclamation

opposed the following clause: 8 And the
several members of the Board shall each
be entitled to receive, for actual and neces-
sary services performed, and for expenses
incurred by them respectively, for and in
the interest of the district, such compeDsa-
ton as the Board may determine to be
Just and reasonable, and shall allow, and
the same shall constitute Indebtedness of
the district, for which warrants of the dis
trict must be drawn and paid in the same
manner and out of the same fund as other
warrants of the district
Mr.. Dray offered the following amend
ment, which was adopted, and which will
prevent Trustees from paying themselves
large sums of money for their services:
. Provided, that no warrant thus drawn
shall be valid until approved by the Board

Caminetti was equally denunciatory of
the course pursued by the Senate. which
body he declared to be the most extrava-
CANT one of the kind that had ever assem-
bled in this State. The time will come, he
declared, when the people will hold the
members responsible for their wasteful ex-
travagance in dealing out the public
moneys of the State. The Senator elo-
quenily and vehemently denounced the
whole line of appropriations made by the
Legislature. Being interrupted by McCar-
thy of San Francisco on an alleged point Of

THE SLAVERY OF "INsTITUrIoNs.u

The tendency to institutionize this State
is a dangerous one, and should be checked.
The idea that reforms can be effected
among the lawless, the Maynard and the
youthful unfortunates only in institu-
TONS is gravely wrong, and needs eorrec
tion. Now that the Legislature is about
at an end, let the friends Of the better
methods so instruct the public mind on
this subject that when another Legislature

IL dismissing recent complaint against
several officers, the San Francisco Police
Commissioners say: "The trouble about
the police force in certain quarters, from
which it is constantly assailed, is this !:
That it cannot be controlled for political
purposes, and that there is no political
power in this State that can keep man
on the police force who mas proved himself
unfit for the place; and there is where the
shoe pinches. In our judgment it were
we'll for the city and county of San Fran
cisco and its people if for all time the shoe
should continue to pinch just there We
rejoice that opportunity has given the
Commission liberty to say as much. 1t is
a direct slap in the face to bosses and boss
ism These modern overseers OF voting
chattels would not only own the police
forces of the whole country, if they could,
but the teachers in the schools, and the
administrators of asylums and charities.
In fact, we know of departments of eduea-
ton where the bosses from behind the for
tifcations Of their power dictate to school
boards, determine who may and who shall
not teach the young idea how to shoot, re-
solve upon the distribution of the patron
age of educational departments, deter
mine the sanitary regulations of cit
les, pass Judgment upon the con-
tinuation or abatement of the smells
of the sewers, and decree, il fact,
what degree of cleanliness cities may en-
JOY, and with what nuisances they must
put up. As for police forces, as a rule,
they are the most convenient tools of the
bosses. If in San Francisco the Commits
sion has snatched the police force from
them, the metropolis has reason to thank
heaven. It gives hope for reform in other
quarters.
